Jasmine: Guess Who
When Ace walked into the lounge, we were all on the dance floor drunk and dancing to Step in the Name of Love. Ace presence was so commanding it was as if the DJ stopped the music and the crowd parted like the Red Sea when he walked in the club. He gave me a scowl as he seen us all dancing together. I positioned my right hand like a pistol, and I shot at him and mouthed the words “Gotcha.”
I quickly tapped December on the arm and pointed to Ace. Her heart dropped. Melody glanced up and was in disbelief. Shit, and I was mad I didn’t have a full drink because the show was about to begin.
Melody ran up in Ace face and begin slapping him. The next thing I know December runs up on Melody and pushes her on the floor.
“Don’t put yo fuckin hands on my man bitch!” December screams.
Melody got up and tried to grab December, but Ace grabbed her hand first.
“Ace, you were cheating on me with her too. I thought you were only messing with Kianna,” December said.
Damn with all this drama going on I forgot that Ace was fucking with his cousin Curtis's wife and doesn't even know it. Wait until I have that heart to heart talk with Curtis about this Kianna shit. It will be Ace last day on earth when I drop that bomb, but for now, I want to keep having fun.
“First of all, he doesn’t even claim you. He told me you were dead. And no bitch, he was not fucking Kianna. He didn’t even like Kianna, but he loves coming to see me when he in town,” Melody said.
Oh shit, so Melody knew about Kianna too? Damn, Ace is a legend. This nigga bagged Sean girl and Curtis girl and still had time for fine ass December. Damn, why don’t I have a drink for this?
“In town, Dead? Ace what the fuck is she talking about ‘In Town and I’m dead?’ Wow! And you loved her enough to tell her about Kianna?”
Ace just stood there in disbelief he didn’t know what to do or say. He knew he was never getting December back after this and he was furious at me.
“Melody, go sit at the bar and wait for me. December let me talk to you,” Ace said.
“Talk to me. No, I’m all talked out,” December said as she kicked off her shoes.
She ran full speed at Melody but to her dismay Melody start putting them paws on her. I hurried up and broke the fight up because I didn’t want December to go out like that. I wasn’t done with her yet.
“This yo fault!” Ace started yelling at me. “This yo fault!”
Security grabbed Ace and Melody and walked them out the building.
“December, you ok?” I asked.
“Yeh, I’m ok. I can’t believe he showed up here looking for her. After all the shit, I have been through with Ace. Fuck, I’m just anotha on the hitlist for him. He told her I was dead. Can you believe that shit? He has fucked everybody. Who hasn’t he fucked?”
I looked her dead in the eyes, “He ain’t never fucked me. I could never deal with someone so scandalous.”
I was telling a bold face lie, but she didn’t deserve my honesty. She deserves her life to be ruined just like mine. It’s her fault for trusting me anyway. No new friends bitch.
“I gotta go to the bathroom and get myself together,” she said.
“Ok, girl I’m a go get us a drink and then we can go.”
Everyone in the lounge was staring at us, and I felt so accomplished. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder.
“Bitch, what did you do? Why did you put me in the middle of your twisted game? You had me bring that girl to the club for a good time, and you knew she fucked your ex? You knew both of them was fucking your ex? Does that poor girl know you know Ace?” Kim said.
“Mind ya business. When women decide to fuck with someone else’s man they get whatever they fucking deserve. It may be tomorrow, it may be a year from now, but they will get it. As a woman, you know how hurtful it is to have a man break your trust. So, as a woman, you deserve all the hell that comes to you when you decide to be a niggas sidepiece. I don't have any sympathy for these side bitches. They want to fuck with other people’s man; I hope they get all the karma they deserve. Shit, and if you out here supporting her while she is sleeping with someone else’s man then you just as guilty as her. God don’t like ugly, and if you support a side bitch, then I hope yo man cheat on yo ass too. Then you can know how it feels to be treated like shit. Word to the wise. When yo man cheats on you remember how you supported yo friend doing that same shit to somebody else before you get mad at the side bitch.”
She rolled her eyes and walked away. I walked to the bar and ordered two more shots of patron. I walked back to the table and sat down. I reached into my purse and grabbed my special bag. I filled her shot glass with a special powder and waited for her to return. She walked out the bathroom looking like a woman defeated. She was trying to mask her pain, but it was written all over her face. I handed her the glass.
“Drink up. Let’s toast to being fuck boy free!”
We banged glasses, looked each other in the eyes and took the shots.
“Whoah, I needed that girl!”
“C’mon girl let’s get out of here. People are staring at us, and you have to go to work in the morning.”
She placed the glass on the table, and she walked with me out the club. I texted Sean and told him to call me in the morning. Melody was about to be exposed. I took a look at December, and I could see the drugs already taking hold of her.
“You ok girl?” I asked.
“Yeh, I’m just tired.”
“Don’t worry; you will be home soon enough!”
